When Adrielle Smith is old enough, what a story her parents will share about the day she was born.

That happened early Monday in Houston, where historic flooding caused by Harvey left her expectant mother, who had gone into labor, trapped in her apartment and unable to make contact with either 911 or the Coast Guard.

As reported by People, Andrea and Greg Smith — both doctors, coincidentally — made preparations for a risky at-home delivery, though they had no medical supplies and no specific specialization in obstetrics.

She works in geriatrics. He’s a pediatric anesthesiologist. A doctor friend with experience delivering babies was prepared to talk Greg through the procedure via Skype, People reported.

Several other medical professionals also live in the couple’s apartment community. A request for help went out to the entire complex Sunday, and before long help arrived with equipment and supplies.
